Independent Accountants’ Report on Agreed-Upon Procedures of United States Capitol Police Leave Restriction Status

At the request of the Assistant Chief of Police (ACOP), the Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducted agreed-upon procedures (AUPs) related to Leave Restriction Status (LRS). OIG engaged Cotton and Company, LLP to assist in determining the adequacy, effectiveness, and efficiency of policies, procedures, and practices regarding the Department’s LRS process. In addition, we identified best practices for improving upon processes in effect as of June 30, 2015.  OIG obtained USCP’s applicable directives, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA) for sworn officers and civilian personnel. We also conducted interviews with USCP personnel, consisting of two deputy chiefs, two lieutenants, four sergeants, and a Human Resources Specialist.
